Chapter 220
The next day, when the sun was high, Wei Zhi got up. When he went out, he saw that there was no one in the inn. He frowned, and Wei Zhi said, "Little Er?"
No one answered her.
Wei Zhi raised his eyebrows, what about people?
It stands to reason that there should be quite a few people coming to eat at this time of day in this inn, but at the moment there is no one there, and the door of the inn has not been opened yet, what's going on?
"6, do you know what happened?" Wei Zhi asked.
System 6: [Boss host, I don't know either. 】
Wei Zhi: "The shopkeeper?"
After searching around, I finally found a person in the backyard. It was the innkeeper. When he saw Wei Zhi, the innkeeper smiled and said, "Baby, I'm going to find you. This is your dog. Don't forget to take it away. "
Wei Zhi looked at his donkey, dripping sweat from the back of his head, but said without saying anything, "Well, shopkeeper, where are the people from your inn?"
The shopkeeper said, "Did Xiao Er tell you?"
Wei Zhi said, "What did you say?"
The shopkeeper asked: "Are you coming back to Qingyun City for the first time?"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."
The shopkeeper said: "Qingyun City is going to hold a competition, which will be compared with several big inns and restaurants in Qingyun City. From the next day, our inn will also be among them. Today, the cook is going to discuss things with someone, and the cooking can't be done, Xiaoer I’m also going to buy ingredients, so today the inn won’t have any guests.”
Wei Zhi said, "You mean I have to go?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes."
Wei Zhi didn't say anything, okay. Before leaving, Wei Zhi asked casually: "What's the prize for winning the game?"
The shopkeeper said: "You can get a gold plaque from Qingyun Academy."
Hearing this, Wei Zhi nodded, and then said, "Who wrote the gold-lettered plaque?"
The shopkeeper said: "Mr. Ming."
Wei Zhi had never heard of this person, so he left with the inkstone.
What is the use of this gold plaque?
After thinking about it, Wei Zhi felt that there must be people from Qingyun Academy coming, and Qingyun Academy, Qingyun City, this Qingyun City also belongs to the Mo family, right?It should not be possible, the gold-lettered plaques written by Qingyun Academy should not have much influence on the people of Qingyun City, but this is Qingyun City, just under the mountain of Qingyun Academy. People will come and go here, because of the reputation of Qingyun Academy, if they hear an inn or restaurant with a gold plaque written by Qingyun Academy, they will definitely go to this inn first.
Just as Wei Zhi walked out of the inn, a young man hurriedly ran towards him. The young man was sweating profusely and said in a panic, "The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper! It's not good! Something serious happened!"
The last thing the shopkeeper wants to hear at this juncture is that something serious happened. As soon as he heard his assistant's voice, the abacus in his hand fell to the ground with a bang: "What's the matter!"
The waiter said: "Shopkeeper! Master Li! Master Li fell off his horse! His arm was broken!"
"What!" The shopkeeper's eyes popped out of fright, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Xiao Er cried.
The shopkeeper also cried.
Master Li is the cook of the inn!Only he can go to the game!Only Master Li's cooking skills can do it!
Wei Zhi looked at the two of them with a blank expression and continued to prepare to leave. System 6 said: [The boss of the host has a small task: help the inn win the game. 】
Hearing this, Wei Zhi said, "Is there any points?"
System 6: [Yes. 】
Wei Zhi agreed, looked at the waiter and the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I can cook."
The shopkeeper took the time to look at the child not far away, and then continued to cry as if I had misheard.
Wei Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I know how to cook."
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er looked at Wei Zhi: "Son, what are you talking about?"
Wei Zhi said: "I worked as a cook at Qingyun Academy for two days, and I know how to cook."
The shopkeeper and Xiaoer looked at Wei Zhi in disbelief: "Qingyun Academy?"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."
The shopkeeper: "Have you been a cook in Qingyun Academy for two days?"
Wei Zhi responded, "Yes."
The shopkeeper said: "Then why don't you continue at Qingyun Academy?"
Wei Zhi said: "This is a long story."
The shopkeeper said: "Hurry up and go."
Wei Zhi understood that the shopkeeper and Xiaoer really didn't trust him, and didn't care, after all, it was justifiable, so he said seriously: "Shopkeeper, can I cook a dish for you?"
The shopkeeper looked at Wei Zhi, and the second boy said, "Shopkeeper, why not?"
Hearing Xiaoer's words, the shopkeeper frowned, fell silent for a while, and said, "Okay."
It doesn't hurt to ask Wei Zhi to cook a meal.
Wei Zhi said, "Where is the kitchen?"
The shopkeeper said: "Follow me."
Wei Zhi followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen. Wei Zhi looked at the ingredients and said, "Let's have some steamed fish."
The shopkeeper responded.
This steamed fish is not easy to cook, it is the most test of skill.
Xiao Er also looked at Wei Zhi seriously, although neither of them felt that there was any hope, but a dead horse was regarded as a living horse doctor.
Wei Zhi began to remove the fish scales very quickly, Xiaoer and the shopkeeper were stunned, they looked at Wei Zhi in surprise, half an hour later, Wei Zhi put the finished steamed fish in front of the shopkeeper and Xiaoer.
The two looked at the steamed fish, brought chopsticks, and tasted the fish. Then their eyes lit up, they glanced at each other, and then looked at Wei Zhi together, as if they had seen a savior.
This cooking!Better than Master Li's!
Wei Zhi said: "Can I participate in the competition on behalf of Master Li?"
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er cried, "Of course!"
Master Li had already been sent to the doctor, and the shopkeeper put his heart down, and the two began to be polite to Wei Zhi, for fear that Wei Zhi would leave unhappy, and Xiao Er took Wei Zhi to the market to pick out ingredients.
Wei Zhi asked: "Do you have to prepare the ingredients yourself for the competition?"
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "No, this ingredient is for you to practice."
Wei Zhi nodded.
The waiter said: "On the day of the competition, someone will ask a question, which is what to cook."
Wei Zhi said: "That's it."
The waiter said: "Everyone is guessing that the question this time is noodles."
Wei Zhi: "Noodles?"
Xiaoer nodded: "Some people say it's food."
Wei Zhi said, "Yes."
The waiter followed Wei Zhi and asked, "What ingredients do you want to buy, young master?"
Wei Zhi said, "Tu Lin."
Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, and said, "Tu Lin? Buy Tu Lin?"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."
Xiaoer asked suspiciously: "Tu Lin is a fruit, can it be used for cooking?"
Wei Zhi said: "It's summer time now, the weather is so hot, it's a good time to eat some cool meals."
Xiaoer said: "Can Tu Lin cook?"
Wei Zhi said: "Of course not."
The waiter asked: "Then should we still buy Tu Lin?" In fact, this season, Tu Lin may not be available.
Wei Zhi said: "Buy and prepare a sweet and cold porridge."
After hearing this, Xiao Er nodded and said, "Okay."
After walking for a long time, I finally bought Tu Lin. Xiao Er put Tu Lin into the bamboo basket and followed Wei Zhi. Wei Zhi looked at the taro and asked, "Is this old taro?"
The old man selling taro said: "It's an old taro, kept in a cellar for the winter."
Wei Zhi hummed, then picked some. The waiter gave him some money, put the taro into the bamboo basket, and continued to follow Wei Zhi: "Young Master, you said you stayed at Qingyun Academy for two days, is that true? ?”
Wei Zhi said: "Of course it is true."
Xiaoer said: "Why didn't the young master stay in Qingyun Academy?"
This young master's cooking skills are so good, why didn't he stay?I heard that the cooks of Qingyun Academy are very good at cooking, is it better than the young master?Thinking about it, it's not impossible, after all, the cooks of Qingyun Academy are masters, and the young master is only so young, and his cooking skills are already so good. If he gets older in the future, it will definitely be limitless.
Wei Zhi said: "Because I went to learn from the teacher, and the cook's job was just by the way. When the cook from Qingyun Academy came back, I left."
Xiaoer heard this, and said, "Apprentice teacher?"
Wei Zhi nodded: "Yeah."
Xiaoer said: "Young master, do you want to worship Mr. Mo as your teacher?"
Wei Zhi responded, and Xiaoer said, "But why is your cooking so good, young master?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhi looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"
Xiaoer said: "Young master wants to worship Mr. Mo as his teacher, shouldn't he read thousands of volumes and take pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"
After hearing this, Wei Zhi said, "I'm good at cooking and reading."
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then looked at Wei Zhi's eyes with even more respect and admiration.
Wei Zhi stopped in front of a rice shop, Xiaoer said: "Young master, there is still rice in the inn."
"Well, I'll buy Jiangmi." Wei Zhi said.
Jiang Mi?Xiao Er followed Wei Zhi in, and said, "Jiangmi is not delicious, what do you want to use it for?"
Wei Zhi said: "New Year cake."
After hearing this, Xiao Er didn't know what it was: "What is a rice cake?"
Wei Zhi said: "It's made from steamed glutinous rice."
Xiao Er thought about it and felt unbelievable.
Wei Zhi bought glutinous rice and then went to buy fish. The fish in the barrel was still alive and kicking, but the fish seller was nowhere to be seen. Wei Zhi took a fancy to the fish and said, "Where are the people?"
Xiao Er also looked left and right, and indeed did not see anyone who seemed to be selling fish coming. The two of them waited for a while, and then saw an old man walking slowly, "Buy fish?"
Wei Zhi nodded: "These two fish."
The old man hung up the fish with a straw and handed it to Wei Zhi, Wei Zhi took it and gave it to Xiao Er, who gave the old man the money, and the two continued to walk towards the market.
After buying ingredients such as chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables, Wei Zhi and Xiao Er went back to the inn. Just as they were about to steam rice, they suddenly found that something seemed to be missing.
After thinking about it, Wei Zhi found that the inkstone was missing.
"Young master? What's wrong with you?" Xiaoer asked.
Wei Zhi said, "My donkey is gone."
Xiaoer: "Donkey? Did the young master buy a donkey?"
Wei Zhi said: "No, it's my dog-like donkey."
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a donkey?Not a dog?The corner of his mouth twitched, Xiaoer said: "I'll go find it."
The donkey followed them to the market, but when they came back, it disappeared. Was it captured by the thief, or did it go away by itself?
Wei Zhi also went to look for it, and so did the innkeeper, and the other waiters also went to the market to look for it. After searching for a long time, Wei Zhi still found the inkstone. It was at a donkey seller in the market. As Yantai left, the donkey seller stopped Wei Zhi and said, "Are you a thief?"
Wei Zhi said, "This is my donkey."
The man snorted coldly: "This obviously belongs to my family."
Wei Zhi said: "Inkstone, let's go."
The man grabbed the inkstone and was about to pinch it when the shopkeeper of the inn came. The donkey seller knew the shopkeeper, so he changed his face and asked Wei Zhi to take the inkstone away.
Back at the inn, Wei Zhi asked Xiaoer to tie up the donkey in the backyard, and went to the kitchen to cook rice.
While steaming the rice, Wei Zhi was handling Tu Lin.
Xiao Er came over and asked, "Young master, do you want us to help wash the vegetables?"
Wei Zhi said, "Is there a small stone mill?"
Xiaoer said: "Yes."
Wei Zhi hummed and asked, "What's your name?"
Xiao Er said, "My name is Hulu."
After hearing this, Wei Zhi hummed. This name is really easy to remember. Wei Zhi said, "My name is Wei Zhi, just call me Wei Zhi."
Xiaoer said: "Yes."
"I'm going to move the small stone mill."
Hulu brought the small stone mill, Wei Zhi looked at it, asked Hulu to adjust the small stone mill, and then began to grind the forest with the small stone mill. Hulu and the other boys were watching, feeling very rare, Hulu asked: " Is the young master going to use Tulin water to cook porridge?"
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "No."
Hulu said: "So you want to be with Jiangmi?"
Wei Zhi still shook his head.
Hulu and the others looked at it seriously, and saw that Wei Zhi put the forest water aside and continued to steam the glutinous rice. Seeing that Hulu and the others were leisurely, the shopkeeper told them to clean the inn.
After Wei Zhi steamed the glutinous rice, he started to cook rice porridge in another pot.
When the rice porridge was cooking in the pot, Wei Zhi poured out the glutinous rice and began to pound the glutinous rice until there was not a single grain of rice left. Wei Zhi began to cut the rice cakes, and waited for it to cool before preparing to cook.
System 6 looked at Wei Zhi and said: [Host boss, I think you might be able to be a cook in the future. 】
Wei Zhi said nothing. She found that the food was quite interesting.
The system is a little awkward.
The porridge was almost ready, Wei Zhi put two pieces of sugar in it, and kept going clockwise until the two pieces of sugar completely melted in the porridge, then took out the porridge and put it aside, still waiting for the porridge cold.
The shopkeeper came to see the rice cake and asked, "Here, can I taste this?"
Wei Zhi is steaming taro: "I can taste it."
The shopkeeper brought chopsticks, tasted a small piece of rice cake, and said, "What kind of ingredients are these?"
Wei Zhi thought that the shopkeeper had tasted Jiangmi. Hearing this, he couldn't help sweating and said, "Jiangmi."
The shopkeeper was stunned: "Jiangmi?"
Wei Zhi: "Yes."
The shopkeeper said: "Jiangmi has become like this?"
Wei Zhi said: "It's pounded."
The shopkeeper asked: "Can you cook?"
Wei Zhi nodded, and the shopkeeper was a little disbelieving, and said, "I went to inquire. The topic of this competition may be the topic of pasta."
Wei Zhi said: "Who did you listen to?"
The shopkeeper said: "I asked someone from Qingyun Academy."
"Yeah." Wei Zhi didn't say anything.
The shopkeeper said, "Make more noodles."
"Jiangmi is also pasta." Wei Zhi said.
The shopkeeper still hesitated, and said, "Noodles are better."
Wei Zhi said, "Let's talk about it on the day of the match."
The shopkeeper worried: "You don't know how to cook pasta, do you?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhi shook his head: "No."
The shopkeeper left worriedly. Wei Zhi steamed the taro, cut it into pieces, and prepared to use the taro to stir-fry rice cakes.Wei Zhi is ready to make cold noodles, reconcile, roll out, cut, and prepare side dishes, shred cucumber and carrot, blanch bean sprouts in hot water, as well as peppers, shallots, seasoning water, side dishes, etc., Wei Zhi is ready Put the noodles into the pot, when the noodles are cooked, take them out and put them in cold water to cool, then put the noodles into bowls, and then start cooking taro rice cakes. When the taro rice cakes are fried, Wei Zhi pours Tulin into the clear water. Porridge, and then said outside: "Gourd! Eat!"
Hulu and the others quickly ran over and went out with the food. When the shopkeeper saw the cold noodles, he couldn't help but feel less worried.
